I'm always leery of reviewing audiobooks as books, not because I think they don't count, but because I suddenly feel as though I don't know whether I liked the story or the reader.
This is a problem with science-fiction in particular, a genre where the books not marketed towards children are--with many exceptions--crappy at character. The people don't always feel like...people.
Having a narrator impersonating them (so to speak) often mitigates the worst of the offenses, but it leaves me wondering whether I liked the work done by the author or the narrator.
Anyway, Spin itself was an absolutely fascinating book--the best part by far was the exploration of the science and the way that the possibilities and ideas came together. So, the Jason Lawton sections. The worst part, also by far, were the Diane Lawton sections. I got the impression that Wilson still wasn't entirely sure how to handle her story and went for something of a hands-off approach in terms of exploring motivations and really thinking through her brain.
But its worth reading for the science.
